After baking some apple muffins we headed out in costume to bring the warm muffins to our neighbours

"Booing" one of our neighbours....

Halloween Party at Tree House

Thank you Mama Cheryl for the creative and delicious treats

Our outdoor time is equally important as the time spent in the classroom. We spend at least two hours outside everyday in all kinds of weather. Outside is for free, imaginary play.

Usually the little ones just do the world map as a puzzle, but today Mouse wanted the control map too, so I sat back to see what would happen. Surprise...she proceeded to match the continents perfectly!

Scrubbing the pumpkin.....

Mouse was looking around the room to find things to match to colour box 1, here she is matching the blue tile to a blue marker....

The children happily 'working' at Tree House

The children help to prepare the snack for their classmates

Peanut showed Iish some pink tower, brown stair extensions

Everybody helps to make soup

Mouse loves to clean up........all last week she walked around with the dustpan and brush in hand looking for messes, here she found a little coloured sand from the dry pouring work

Peanut loves to read the story.....

Merlin served the water at snack today....

I just love the concentration on Merlin's face......punchwork is serious business

Tank lines all his work up these days.......definitely in the sensitive period for order.

Tiger was thrilled today....."I can do all the buttons now"

using tongs to transfer mini pumpkins

Tiger shared some photos during our group time this morning!

A busy Monday morning.......

We will be focusing on space for the next couple of weeks.....so we have switched to Space Play Doh!

Drawing a face on the pumpkin and then washing it off was very popular today!

Carrying a pumpkin on the line.....

Happy Birthday Merlin.....Merlin's Mom came for Merilin's birthday walk....she read us a story and brought wonderful Banana Blueberry Muffins for a treat! Thank You! We are blessed with wonderful families at Tree House.

Transferring water with a sponge, a perfect work for Marble

I love the concentration.......Merlin is very intent on his tweezing corn work

Mouse doing her tray of circles.....

Tiger has spent a lot of time this week doing puzzle maps

Mouse takes great pride in cleaning her classroom...

The world has opened up for Peanut since she has learned to read......she put a chair on a rug today, a message to the her friends "do not disturb me"

Skip counting with the bead chains.....

Mouse busy at work this morning!

Tweezing Indian Corn, a favourite fall activity at preschool, its wonderful for devolping fine motor skills.

Princess made her first world map, here she is putting the labels on it.

Merlin brought a sequencing puzzle from home to share with us this morning.

Princess worked very hard to complete her map, she was excited to present it to her friends at Circle time.

A peaceful moment at Tree House this morning.....

What a busy week we have had.......
